My Neighbor Secures Mobile Commerce Transactions with Voice Biometrics

Planet Payment, a multi-currency payment and data processor, based in Long Beach, NY, has deployed a mobile shopping application which uses voice biometrics to secure transactions. The product is called “Shop BuyVoice™’ and it enables shoppers to purchase items securely, from registered “Voice Store” merchants, over the phone.

According to their Website, Planet Payment works with merchants to set up their mobile commerce (“Voice”) stores. Shoppers also need to enroll and provide a “base” voiceprint. Enrolled shoppers can see a product in an ad, browse a storefront after hours, or respond to an in-store display, then call Shop BuyVoice and buy the item simply by saying the product code and verifying their identity (i.e., by entering their phone number and providing a “sample” voiceprint).

Another step closer to making voice biometrics a commercial reality.
